THE DPDP ACT, 2023 — RULES NOTIFIED 14 NOV 2025

What is the DPDP Act?

Plain language. No jargon. If you handle names, photos, health or phone numbers — you're a Data Fiduciary.

Check exposure — 5 min

Certified and compliant

Audited annually against security, availability and confidentiality criteria. Compliant with EU data protection and US healthcare privacy standards.

Private Vault gateway

OTP and sensitive data are stripped before anything reaches storage. Documents are never sent for ingestion — only anonymized chunks that can’t be traced back.

Zero data retention

No retention on the provider side, no training on your data. You control retention periods for consents and vault logs to meet policy.

Audit and conversation logs

A full trail of what was collected, when and why. Every consent, correction and vendor share hash-chained for Board inquiries.

Consent integrity and sandboxing

Inputs sandboxed away from system prompts. Out-of-scope collection never reaches storage; topics and purposes can be blocked outright.

Vendor register — MCP server

All processors exposed as MCP tools — connect Tally, CRMs and gateways without custom integration. Works with your stack.

Data minimization

Purpose-limited collection enforced at form level. Extra fields flagged before consent, never stored silently — principle of minimal collection.

Verifiable parental consent

Every child record requires OTP-verified parent identity with DigiLocker optional. Proof retained for years, hash-chained.

One-click Board audit pack

Hash-chained ledger, vault logs and breach reports exported in one click. Ready for inquiry, no spreadsheet scramble.
